Ezekiel 37:16-24

¹⁶ "And you, son of man , take for yourself one stick and write on it, 'For Judah and for the sons of Israel , his companions '; then take another stick and write on it, 'For Joseph , the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel , his companions .' ¹⁷ "Then join them for yourself one to another into one stick , that they may become one in your hand . ¹⁸ "When the sons of your people speak to you saying , 'Will you not declare to us what you mean by these ?' ¹⁹ say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD , "Behold , I will take the stick of Joseph , which is in the hand of Ephraim , and the tribes of Israel , his companions ; and I will put them with it, with the stick of Judah , and make them one stick , and they will be one in My hand ."' ²⁰ "The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes . ²¹ "Say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD , "Behold , I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where e they have gone , and I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land ; ²² and I will make them one nation in the land , on the mountains of Israel ; and one king will be king for all of them; and they will no longer be two nations and no longer be divided into two kingdoms . ²³ "They will no longer defile themselves with their idols , or with their detestable things , or with any of their transgressions ; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned , and will cleanse them. And they will be My people , and I will be their God . ²⁴ "My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd ; and they will walk in My ordinances and keep My statutes and observe them.
